Here comes Wormwood! Or I should say we are going to run into this new space as that is what we do everyday, as our solar system speeds through the galaxy and outer space. This is why new things pop up every day, because they have no clue where we are going because no man has ever been there before. We are in for a ride on the great space train planet earth. The crap thing is the DOD doesn't have a big bumper for this car yet.

but no one could predict they’d be joined by Terry Lovejoy’s recent comet discovery, C/2013 R1 (Lovejoy), and the obscure C/2012 X1 (LINEAR). The last surprised all of us when it suddenly brightened by more than 200 times in a matter of days. Almost overnight, a comet found on precious few observing lists became bright enough to see in binoculars.

Very cool!

All in green .. ))

Amazing - thanks for the post!

By the way, is it a normal occurrence to have 4 comets like this in the skies at the same time?

Is ISON still the one astronomers feel will put on the best show? Or is it now a horse race since Linear seems to have surprised everyone on the upside and ISON on the downside? And who knows what's in store for the rest...

S&F of course...

not horsemen, I hope?

I like seeing comets in the sky. S&F for the pictures of all four. The Aurora in the picture someone posted is neat also.

Well that would certainly fit right in with all of the other doomporn threads right now...

Forgive my ignorance, but I saw a meteorite in the sky tonight above NYC - heading in a southerly direction - I've never seen one before so it was startling and exciting - Could this be connected to these comets?

Really? Because that's sort of a rarity with all of the light pollution in that area. Good for you!

Must have been an invigorating experience for you. Hopefully it will also have been caught on camera so we can all see it as there are probably more cameras pointed to the sky in that area than most other places in the world...

BTW - I spent most of my life in that area and am curious - where where you when you saw it?

I get a very strange feeling by looking at those 4 mysterious pictures, a very pleasant one.

Very fascinating stuff the way universe works. Comets and solid matter travelling at high speed through this vast and infinite universe and covering this unbelievable amount of distance. The way celestial bodies work is highly impressive.

Sometimes I wonder, what might actually get in our way someday?

Uh oh, not Horsemen....

Trumpets!!

Revelation 8 KJV

The First Four Trumpets
6And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

7The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

8And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; 9And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.

10And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; 11And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.

12And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.

13And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!

Are you kidding us?!
Four comets in the sky at once. Like horsemen. Scary enough knowing what we know about Ison,right?

UM,the others are called Lovejoy,Encke (Enki, momma assumes), and 2012.

We like to consider ourselves faithful but quite rational people....but that really wigs us out!

I guess it's possible...

I was on the south shore of rockaway in Queens looking towards the ocean so less light pollution there. I came on line right after to see if there were any reports about it, but nothing. It was definitely a pretty bright light, complete with red sparks trailing off the end.

Very cool experience.

Ah, Rockaway beach, Riis Park and Breezy Point....brings back many great memories.



The red sparks aspect has me curious as I don't think many meteors do that. Maybe someone better versed in this can weigh in as I don't want to speculate.

(And I have a few speculations...)

Thanks for sharing.

Enki's there, eh? At least its interesting.
